Yeah, it's an awful lot of money for a small van, but if you want an EV camper that does more than 200 miles (and I really do!) you have a choice of exactly one vehicle at the moment, and it's not very big. Going to the LWB adds a bit of space but no height (and they've not made a cargo version of the LWB yet, weirdly)

@@epcode5121 have you taken your pills today ? Emm the radfords commissioned the conversion, they are seasoned motorhome users, they know what works and what doesn’t work, you have to ask why this has been done. No one spends that amount of money on an electric van and adds the amount that it cost to convert just to have it as a second occasionally used vehicle. It’s been done for a purpose. It’s totally impractical.

Hi Do you think you could update us on how much difference it makes to the range of the van when it’s also putting the 30 amps into a depleted leisure battery after a couple of nights away. Be very curious. Thanks. Didn’t see anyone in the van when it was weighed. If it was weighed as part of roadside enforcement it would at least have had a driver to be stopped so don’t forget that’s at least 80kgs off the payload. What is the maximum discharge from the 150ah lithium battery? I believe you mentioned a 3kw inverter? Seems a bit powerful for it compared to most Lithium batteries on the market but impressive if it can deliver for a reasonable amount of time. Didn’t hear a mention of any heating or did I miss it?

Looks great but it would be no good for us. I’m 6ft 3” tall. Although I’m not an EV hater, I would be worried about sleeping on top of a massive EV battery pack. I know it’s rare, but I’ve seen videos of EV’s taking about 6 seconds from the battery starting to smoke to them bursting and into flames and exploding. At least with a normal diesel van as long as you have good fire detection devices you’ve got time to get out!! That is an issue of concern for me.

@xxwookey we actually compared the space inside the latest VW Transporter campervan at the Caravan Salon show in last weeks video, and it didn’t feel much larger than our Buzz, and of course we prefer the layout of our Buzz over it, but I agree, just a few more inches of height would have been perfect.
